"Wait, wait! Let's stop it, what's going on? The entire tunnel echoed with Estelle's voice, and it was no wonder that he had the ability to hear his voice before anyone saw him, "General, you won't treat us guerrillas as a thorn in your side again." ”

Shortly after Lévi and the dragon left, General Morgan offered to have the guerrilla team stop pursuing the dragon.

"Estelle, let the general finish his sentence." Shelazad motioned for little Ai to be calm. In the past, in order to maintain the face of the guerrillas, she could be sarcastic, but this time she can also persuade her in order to succeed in the mission.

"I remember you, Sherazad Harvey." Unlike the previous time, Morgan was not angry, this time Morgan said with a praising face, "There are not many people who dare to argue in front of me, I hope you will continue to keep it up." ”

"You've won the prize, General." Shelazadeh was soft and hard, "If you don't tell me why, we won't stop there." ”

"You have also seen it, it is a demonic beast that is difficult to hurt by the firepower of the guard airship, and the strength of the individual is very small in front of it." The old general who untied his heart was open-minded, "True courage and brute bravery are two different things, and you should have witnessed the tragic situation in the villages of Perth and Ravennu." It is no exaggeration to call this war. ”

"As the saying goes, each has its own strengths, and since it has developed to the stage of war, it is enough to leave it to our professional army to deal with. By the way, let's focus on searching the Eater of Serpent's strongholds, which will also help us. ”

"But," Estelle wanted to say something more, and she was unwilling to let her go when the matter was at a critical moment.

"I admit you have a point." The companion who had fallen into a coma finally woke up, and unlike his usual powder keg state, he was really like a heavy sword that was not skillfully crafted, "But, I, can we trust you?" ”

"You're awake, Agaté." Seeing the red hair lying on the ground wake up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tsk, it's a completely different person than just now." Lane looked left and right, as if to see a flower.

"Just figured something out." Agaté was slightly apologetic, "I've worried you." ”

"Is this still the Agaté I know?" Sherazadeh covered her mouth and smiled, "It can't be Brother Jin's disguise." ”

"What?" The second monk of Agath was puzzled.

"This is the Agat-kun we are familiar with." Olivier chimed in and said that Agaté, who was not vulgar in his words, was not a good red hair.

"Are you guys finding fault?" Agaté's fist crunched, he had figured out a lot of things, and it didn't mean that his temper had changed.

"Excuse me." Morgan saw that a few people were ridiculing that there was a tendency to get out of control, and interrupted, "What did you just say?" ”

"Your Excellency General, you just said that each has its own strengths, and the war will be handed over to your army, right?" Agaté's expression became serious, "Are you serious about this?" ”

"Yes, definitely. Unlike you guerrillas, who protect individual citizens, we must protect the country, and the country I am referring to here includes both the people and the land. The old general replied very seriously, this is his lifelong belief, "If you want to do this, you can only rely on our army." ”

"I don't deny what you said, but," Agaté took a deep breath, trying not to let the nightmarish images in his mind affect him, "can you really do everything you say you say, and you always say that you will do nothing without orders?" Perth, the village of Ravennu is not the same as it was ten years ago"

“！！” The old general's face changed greatly, "Could it be that you, you were at that time"

"Originally, I didn't plan to trust the army anymore, but just now I wanted to try to trust you again." Agaté clung to a multicolored stone, "So I hope that we guerrillas can work in concert with the military." ”

"This," General Morgan hesitated.

"I'm for it." Lane nodded, "Large-scale military operations are not only difficult to mobilize, but also easy to cause panic among ordinary people. Unlike us guerrillas, we can not only minimize the impact of our actions when we spend time with the citizens, but also penetrate into areas that are difficult for soldiers to enter in normal times, such as the depths of the Misty Canyon. ”

"Your Excellency General, I became a guerrilla to find a way to compensate Misha, although I haven't found it yet." Agaté bowed his head, "But I want to make sure again how useful our guerrillas really are, and I hope you will agree!" ”

"I'll leave it to you too." Esther also lowered her head, "Dad also decided to become a guerrilla because of Mom's death." ”

"It's also about helping people who are in need." Yaniras bowed her head and please.

"We'll do our best." Shelazard also bowed his head.

Morgan looked at the young men, felt their unshakable will, and nodded slightly, "I will consider your proposal." However, this time I will only take the place of Cassius, who is busy with affairs, to direct this operation, and I will focus on the discussion when the time comes. ”

"Tonight, I'll be in touch with the association and tell you the results, that's all I can promise."

"Unaccompanied." After speaking, the old general closed the team and left

"Ten years ago, if Perth had guerrillas like them, maybe it wouldn't have been," said General Morgan, looking at the village of Ravennu, which had become a small dot, on the deck of the airship, "Alas, it's not too late. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the village of Ravennu, in front of an old-fashioned wooden house, Agaté is stunned, this is where he and his sister Misha live together

"Welcome to my home." Agaté pushed open the wooden door.

Seeing Agaté's gentle appearance, his companions tacitly did not speak.

The house is not big, but it is very carefully arranged, and there is no dust in the whole room, which shows that someone often cleans it.

Agaté walked through every corner of the house step by step, and the others followed him, silent.

"This is" On the bedside table was an old picture frame, and there was an old photograph in it - Agaté, who was still a teenager, was smiling very sunny in a sweatshirt and jeans, and next to him stood a girl in a plain white flower dress, smiling brightly, and the expressions of the two matched the sunlight behind him to make the whole photo bright.

"Even this helped me stay." Agaté slowly approached the bedside, took the picture frame in his hand and rubbed it gently, "It's true that although some things are different, isn't this feeling exactly the same as it was then?" ”

"Ah, you don't know, do you? In fact, this home was completely burned down ten years ago. ”

"The stray bullets of the Imperial Army once fell here, and in the blink of an eye, the house became a piece of char, and Misha was in it at that time."

"Although I also heard about the village chief and they rebuilt the house, I didn't expect that even the furniture was so thoughtful."

"I've never been in this house once before, but I'm going to have to thank you for it."

"That was before one of my birthdays. Misha, she made a pendant for me with her own hands, saying that she was going to give it to me as a gift, and that day, just as we were taking refuge in the mountain road, she ran back to the house for it, and at this moment, ** landed on the roof"

Agaté held a multicolored stone in his hand, which shone with a little brilliance as the light changed.

"When I rescued Misha, she was covered in terrible burns, and Misha, who was already dying, was still holding the pendant tightly in her hands, and although the metal parts of the pendant were all burned out, the stone part was still intact."

"It's not obsidian or anything, it's just a beautiful stone in general, I think she found it by a nearby creek, on this thing, she doesn't know how much brains she has used, how much work she has spent, and when she thinks about it, I can't bear to blame her anymore."

"As a relic of Misha, I should have sealed it instead of carrying it with me all the time, but when the war was over and I ran out of the village to live a decadent life, I only had this one, but I could not put it aside."

"As an older brother, but unable to protect my sister, this anger at my own incompetence can only be forgotten for a while when I stare at it"

"But now it's different, and it's going to be my motivation!"

"Misha, she's watching me from the goddess's side."

On this day, Agaté untied his heart and officially stepped into the realm of Arcane.
